Angelina Jolie filmed Salt, a Phillip Noyce-directed spy thriller, this past spring. It’s not coming out in America until next summer (July 23, apparently) but we can enjoy this just-released Russian trailer for the film. I swear, at first I thought it was really Angelina and Liev Schrieber speaking in Russian together about their spy junk. But the trailer is actually dubbed. Nuts! The trailer also includes some pretty cool-looking stunt work, and there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him shot of one of my favorites, Chiwetel Ejiofor. I love Liev too. Good stuff! EW has more:

The first peek at Angelina Jolie’s Salt has a serious Russian accent. That’s not just because Jolie plays a CIA officer who may or may not be a a Russian sleeper agent (shades of No Way Out). The first online trailer is actually for the film’s Russian release, so have fun with the dialogue, apparently dubbed by Nikolai Volkoff.

The film’s action transcends any language barrier, nyet? Director Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games) seems to be borrowing heavily from the Bourne films, and Jolie has a solid track record as an action star (though her Matrix-climb-the-wall-drop-kick at 1:41 was rather low on the vertical).

Are you smitten with Jolie in any language? Does Salt, out in the U.S. next July, solidify her as the only bankable female action hero?

Salt is the first time Angelina and director Noyce have worked together since The Bone Collector. While I didn’t love that film, I’ve read that Angelina and Noyce enjoyed working together on that film, and they were very happy to connect for Salt.

My least favorite part about this trailer? Angelina’s sketchy wig work. These wigs are f-cking awful. Well… the black one with the bangs isn’t terrible, but that blonde one has to go. Whose f-cking idea was that?
